HE PURCHASES FORTY THOUSAND PLANTS OF THE RICHMOND ROSE.

WILL START BIG GREENHOUSE i? At: Dallas Texas Heard of:. -Bill's New Rose and Will Make Specialty of It. E. H. R. Green, son of Mrs. Hetty Green, who is reputed to be the wealthiest woman in the world, was in the city Tuesday to inspect the greenhouse plant of the E. G. Hill Co. Mr. Green is the owner of the largest greenhouse in the south. The object of Mr. Green's visit to this city was to investigate the methods of growing the "Richmond" rose, which has won such distinction '.among rose growers in the past year. Mr. Green had heard of the variety and came to learn the habits of the ' plant, and to purchase a stock with which to begin raising them for himself. Mr. Green accidentally discovered when operating a demonstration farm in Texas, that the business would pay there, and it has become his hobby to make it a success. lie is president of a railroad between Dallas and Terrell, Texas, and is anxious for the farmers of that region to find some way in which they can make money from their land. The name of the new company which has been formed by Mr. Green i "The Green Floral and Nursery Company;,' ' of .Dallas ..TexasJtt will be a wholesale firm. He will enter into contracts -with large retail growers' who will place the stock on the market, all over the south, and Mr. Green thinks that he can control the trade of that part of the country. .The fact that he came to this city to investigate the stock of the E. G. Hill Co., is a high compliment to that firm, and to the new rose, the "Richmond." This rose,, which was produced last year, after years of work with thousands of different varieties of "seedlings," is fully deserving of the high place it holds among roses. Vlt is predicted that next winter it . will be grown by greenhouse men all over the country, to the exclusion of r every other variety. Mr. Green ordered several thousand of these plants. ' The rose has been seen by but few Richmond people. It is of a deep red color, with a stem of from two to four feet in length, and is about the size of the American Beauty. It can be grown for less than half the cost 'of the famous Beauties. It has been retailing on the city markets for JfG.ftO a dozen and during the holidays the price was much higher. -The rose is known as -the best "flowering" rose on the market, blooming freely all winter. The com- , pany has .sold nearly 300,000 of these plants in the past year, and large orders are coming in every week. There 'seems to be no doubt but that this rose is-the best that has ever been produced and that it will be the ' standard red rose of the country. ANOTHER DEFECTIVE FLUE. Fire Department Called to Home of Edward Ellabarger More Smoke Than Fire. The fire department was called to the home of Edward Ellabarger on North Nineteenth street yesterday morning about 8 o'clock. A defective flue was the cause of the trouble, and the rooms of the house were soon filled with smoke. The loss was small.

Constable George Mahoy Arrested For Stealing a Gentle Smack From Married Woman.

(Palladium Special.) Huntington, Ind., February 14. For putting his arms around hpr waist and kissing an Andrews matrtJa of 18, Constable George Mahoy, 60 years old and married, has been bound over to circuit court under a bond of $100. Mrs. Mary Stanton is the prosecuting witness and Mahoy admits the charge. Mrs. Stanton, pretty and coy, though married three years, proved too attractive to Mahoy as he called at her house in Andrews on his official rounds. He says all her statements are true and admits he has never heard aught against her character. He says his apparent expression of affection was merely a joke and asserts that he gave the pretty young woman no cause to consider the kiss otherwise. CAR DERAILED AT DRIVING PARK BLOCKS TRAFFIC ON DAYTON AND WESTERN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. CAKING OF ICE ON WHEELS Caused Front Trucks to Leave Track That No One Was. Hurt is Remarkable. The Dayton and Western car due into Richmond at 3:10 p. m. was derailed at the Driving Park yesterday afternoon, and for the remainder of the day it blocked traffic on the road. That the accident did not result more seriously is considered remarkable. The car was rounding the curve at the west entrance to the Fairgrounds when the front wheels left the track and the front end was precipitated down the embankment. There were twelve passengers in the car. AH of them were thrown forward in their seats. Although a number of them received slight injuries, mostly bruises, no one was se riously hurt. The car after the accident stood at right angles to the track and the back end of the car was raised above the front end at an angle of almost forty five degrees. Motorman John Hecka thorn of 305 Central Avenue was in charge of t he car. He remained with the car and was not hurt. It is believed that the caking of ice to the front wheels of the car caused the accident. That the back wheels remained on the track is perhaps all that prevented a serious wreck. The Limited car was west of the wreck and during the afternoon and last night it carried passengers from the west to the wreck where they were transferred. The passengers from the East were also received by the Limited and brought into Richmond. The wrecked car will probably be repaired in time to bring it into the city early this morning.

NOTWITHSTANDING A LARGE CROP OF ICE THERE IS STILL WAR IN AIR.

FEELING IS NOT OF THE BEST With Plentiful Supply of Ice on Band Looks as if it Would Be Cheap. Although a full crop of natural iee has been harvested by the local ice dealers and every thing indicates a plentiful supply for next summer, the firms which compose the Richmond Ice Delivery company are no nearer effecting another combine for summer than they were two months ago, and from conversations with several dealers, it is learned that there will probably be no combination. The contract among the several companies expires on April 1 and if another contract is entered into, it will be done within a few weeks. For some time, however it has been thought that the companies would COMINQ

act independently and the reason at first assigned was the fact that there was no natural ice on hand. Now there is plenty of ice but some of the dealers are dissatisfied with their portion of the net receipts of the Delivery Company and the combine will probably cease to exist after April 1. Otto Rettig, of the Union Ice Co., said last evening when asked about the situation, that the dealers had just "agreed to disagree" and there the matter stood. As far as he knew. Mr. Rettig said that there would no longer be a combine. As to what effect the breaking of this association will have on the price of ice during the summer, is not yet known, but it will probably result in competition, as the dealers are not leaving the combine with the best of feelings on all sides. .From all indications, ice will be plentiful and with three companies serving customers on the streets each day,the price is liable to be lowered - considerably.

IN CASE SCHOOL BOARD BUILDS AN ADDITION TO ' HIGH SCHOOL.

WOULD IMPROVE ATHLETICS A Department Which is Now Fast Degenerating at the SchoolWill Make a Plea. As present indications point toward the construction of an addition to the present High School building, the students of the High School are taking steps toward inducing the School Board to provide a gymnasium in the new building and it is probable that a committee will be appointed to see after this. The need for a gymnasium has long been felt at the High School, and the school games have been played in the small Garfield Gymnasium. Since a new building will, in all probability, be erected, it is thought that the school board would considIN PAIRS. Will,,. If r... Hi . " I,. "'I' ''lit er a plea on the part of the pupils for a room to be used as a gym. The High School Athletic Association has been allowed to almost drop out of existence, as there is nothing to be done by the association in winter. In case a gymnasium is provided, the membership and financial standing of the association can be greatly enlarged and the school will rank higher as an athletic High School in the state. Gymnasiums are provided in the high schools of Marion, Muncie, Anderson and Kokomo, and several other towns the size of Richmond, and the students feel that the School Board should take action in this matter when it meets to consider the construction of a new building. W. W. GRUBBS IS IMPROVING. Several Richmond people have received letters from W. W. Grubbs, who is in Oregon for his health. Mr. Grubbs says that his health is improving rapidly. He is living in the mountains and enjoying the climate. ADDRESSED THE REBEKAHS. Milton, Ind., Feb. 4.

DEFEATED WESTERN SEMINARY LAST NIGHT BY A VOTE OF 2 TO 1.

CONTESTWAS VERY SPIRITED Chinese Immigration Was Discussed Earlham Defending the Yellow Men Good Crowd. Last night the girls of Earlham won a clean cut and decisive victory over the Western Seminary of Offord, O., in debate on the question, "Resolved, that the Chinese should be admitted to the United States ou the same conditions as other foreigners.' ' Earlham had the affirmative. Owing to the fact that Western has had many years experience in debating, and Earlham none,'1 there was some little doubt among.the large audience that the Quakers ; would ,be able to hold theiriowit with. Western. Miss Hester opened the debate in a very forecful manner, and put up many strong arguments in favor of admitting the Chinese. Miss Ada Marie Simpson, of Western, then spoke outlining the different points which Western would endeavor to prove. Miss Katie Cochran of Earlham then with a few -well chosen thoughts clinched several good points for the Quakers. The next speaker was Miss Edith - Mary -.Fulton, a resident of Canton, China, who spoke for Western. It was 'thought by all that Miss Fulton's arguments would be strongest and-gaiixmost foe; Westerrias she ' would be thoroughly acquainted with the Chinese. She gave an. interesting account of the life of the Chinese, their morals, habits of living and etc., but at no time did she clinch any arguments which would have any direct influence on the outcome of the debate. Miss Janet Fennimore then scored point after point for Earlham. Miss. Fennimore 's speech was the best of the evening, she having a clear and logical argument which she handled in a masterful manner. At the close of her speech she was cheered for fully two minutes. Miss Agnes Taylor, of Western, (Continued to Page 8.j SMALL BOY IS MISSING.
